Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Per Article 20 of the SCO Charter, the official languages are Russian and Chinese. The SCO was granted observer status in the UN General Assembly in 2004 (Resolution 59/48), confirming statement 2. Statement 3 is incorrect as the SCO had 10 member states by the exam date (Belarus joined in July 2024), not 13. Since only statements 1 and 2 are correct, the answer is C.
